  • An organic electronic device was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 4, except that ETLs were formed to have thicknesses of 70 nm and 85 nm, respectively.
  • An organic electronic device was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 4, except that an ETL was formed to have a thickness of 35 nm.
  • An organic electronic device was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 4, except that an ETL was formed to have a thickness of 140 nm.
  • Luminous intensity was determined by attaching a semi-spherical lens having a refractive index of 1.52 to a light emitting surface of an organic electronic device, and measuring the intensity of light emitted from the organic electronic device using an integrating sphere. The measurement results are shown in FIG. 5 .
  • the organic electronic device according to the present invention has advantages in that light-extraction efficiency can be improved and the manufacturing process can be simplified without degrading device performance, and thus can be widely applied in fields such as displaying or lighting.
  • the substrate for an organic electronic device according to the present invention can be useful in improving light extraction efficiency, and the organic electronic device including the substrate has advantages in that light-extraction efficiency can be improved and the manufacturing process can be simplified without degrading device performance.
